What schools are saying about
HP Classroom Manager
“HPCM is a simple and cost-effective way of
optimizing how we use computers in a
learning context… It provides an intuitive,
interactive platform for students and
teachers alike.”
– Johan Nyberg, head teacher, Roslagsskolan
“In the past, teachers at Palmer School had a
difficult time explaining an assignment. Now
we have the ability to show students our
teacher desktop and go through each step
visually and orally as the students follow
along. This is tremendously helpful in a
classroom of students with a variety of
learning styles. HP Classroom Manager is such
a huge improvement to our previous setup.
And I am fairly sure we have only scratched
the surface with all the features.”
– Laurie Fahy, Palmer School
“It allows us to see, in parallel, how the
students are solving a given task. If a student
is performing the task well it can be used as
an example or as a guide for the other
students. In case a student complains about
the task being difficult, the teacher can prove
that the task can be performed by showing
that other students are solving the problem
by themselves. So, it’s not the teacher telling
how to solve the task. The students are
motivated to solve the task because they see
other students are able to do it.”
– Edgar de León, Computer Science teacher, Instituto Justo Arosemena
“There are some introverted students in my
class who do not often take the initiative to
interact with teachers or answer questions.
With HP Classroom Manager, teachers can
instruct students according to their specific
study preferences. Some students grow more
comfortable with these new ways of
interaction and are [now] pleased to
communicate with teachers.”
– Dong Yi, teacher, Shanghai, China
